(lunch break ) Wow! Ashley first! That is very unexpected! Now after Julia and Mirai we know that this is no guarantee for a spot on the podium. But still; way to go Ashley!!!!!!! I hope her SP will be on youtube soon....

Edit; it's already on youtube... But I think something's wrong with the music; or Ashley just finished way behind her music. Plus; no kiss and cry; so hopefully a better youtube version will follow... But still; she looked pretty; but a little slow; but maybe that impression was given me because of the music being off synch...

ETA: I just did some research. In fact not many ladies have exceeded 60 at GP events so far. But the situation here is still very dismal. The leader Wagner's score would make her 6 at TEB, 5 at CoR, and 6 at CoC. Let's hope the ladies will deliver tomorrow!

Mirai's 62.20 is still the second highest score in a Ladies SP so far this season.

What a joy to watch Ashley skate!!!!!!!! Sublime, beautiful, classic, words fail me, she's getting better & better as the season progresses IMHO. I would put her in 1st place. Her gorgeous flexible spiral into the 2A at the end was superb! And her opening 3/2 jump was also nice, as well as her solo triple jump, but may be UR? I'm not sure. I did notice that she has a high swinging free leg when she comes out of her 3Z into 2T (is she a lefty?).

I have mentioned that Ashley`s 2 axel wil be downgraded, as it was very visible on the slo mo replay and people were wondering why her score is this close to Ando. She could`ve had scored around 60 if she was really clean

Great job Ashley!! I know her double axel was downgraded but Ando fell on her flip and doubled her Lutz. Ashley ought to be ahead by more than 0.32 points. Hopefully Ashley will have a good free and win it! Go Ashley!!

She did not double her Lutz, she did a 3lz+2lo combo. hence score are similar. ando lost 4 points on technical side for fall on the flip and ashley may have lost around 2.5 points on axel. hence the differnce in technical score; ando's and ashley's PCS are along expected line. so the gap is very narrow

Hmmm...
Just got a chance to watch the video coverage of the SP's...not too surprised by the standings considering the errors everyone made... maybe expected Meir to be a couple spots higher.

but also considering how many ladies have been nailed by UR, it looks like they missed it on Miki's Lutz. From the replay, to me, looked cheated. Just don't think it's possible to score a 56+ with w/ 2F< and a 3L<+2L. Just sayin...
